What’s The Right Way To Put A Wig On?
Understanding how to wear a lace frontal wig properly comes down to 5 basic elements:
- Finding the right wig size
- Gathering your supplies
- Prepping your natural hair
- Putting on the wig
- Styling the glueless wig
Find Your Wig Size
Figuring out your wig size is one of the most important factors in ensuring a smooth lace-front synthetic wig installation.
If it is your first time looking for a wig, then follow these step-by-step tutorials to find the perfect wig size for a natural look.
Measure Around Your Head
Grab a measuring tape and follow your hairline above your ear around the back and back up to the front.
Measure Ear To Ear
Begin from the front of one ear and measure up and over the crown of your head to the front of your other ear.
Measure Front To Back
Place the tape at the front and move over the crown to where the back meets the top of your neck.
Record Your Measurements
Record and compare the numbers against the wig size chart to find your perfect fit.
Gather Your Supplies
Once you have found your wig size, gather the following tools to put on the wig:
- A lace front wig
- A brush and a comb
- Mirror
Prep Your Natural Hair
If you have long or mid-length hair, brush it and secure it into a bun with an elastic band. For short hair, secure it flat against the scalp with bobby pins.
We recommend using a wig cap if you have a sensitive scalp due to hair loss or to elevate the realism by mimicking your scalp skin tone.
The wig cap minimizes friction between the wig and your scalp, reduces irritation, and adds a layer of cushioning.
Likewise, if you are managing hair thinning at the front of the hairline or simply want additional security, wear the Velvet Grip over your natural hair.
Soft, velvet wig grips like this ensure your wig stays in place while maintaining a natural look.
Putting On Lace Front Wigs
Now, it’s time for the fun to begin. Follow these steps to put on a lace front wig like the Heidi Lace Front Wig by Paula Young.

- Use a wide-tooth comb to remove tangles.
- Hold the long hair wig at the front of your head and pull it back to the nape.
- You can bend the ear tabs to adjust the wig for a snug fit and pull the adjustable strap to make the wig smaller or roomier.
- Gently slide the wig into place, ensuring the wig hairline aligns with yours. This step guarantees that your wig looks natural and seamless.
- After putting on the wig, take a look in the mirror and make any necessary adjustments.
Styling Lace Front Wigs
After putting on the wig, you can begin styling it to elevate the realism.
To incorporate your natural hair, pull the wig back over your own natural hairline and pull out some of your baby hair using a Blending Pick.
Brush and smooth out the fiber and heat style lace frontal wigs human hair, like the Marin Lace Front Human Hair Wig by Paula Young, on a moderate heat setting. Spritz the wig with a heat protectant spray to shield the fiber from heat damage.
This is your time to play around with different hairstyles. Create soft waves for a feminine and elegant look, or add volume and drama to your lace front hairstyles with glamorous curls.

Tips For Maintaining Lace Front Wigs
Now that you know how to wear lace front hair wigs, here are some care tips to keep your wig looking great:
- To prevent tangles and mattes, avoid frequently running your fingers through lace-front wigs.
- Like your natural hair, human hair wigs can be damaged by heat. To prevent the wig from heat damage while styling with a blow dryer or curler, use a moderate heat setting and a heat protectant spray.
- Wash your wig between 7 and 10 wears with a mild Wig Shampoo to remove product build-ups and a moisturizing wig conditioner to restore shine.
- Rotate between your human hair and heat-friendly synthetic wigs to keep them in top condition and ensure they are ready for your next adventure.
- Remove the wig before hitting the bed or the pool. Tangles can form as you toss and turn, and the chlorine from the pool can dry your lace wig.
